Full Moon Party, Sunrise Beach, Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand

Today was going to have a late end.. So we slept in as late as possible (in this heat it's not that far past 10) then made our way to the pool to chill off. We were going to walk in to haad rin by sunset beach, which we had used everyday since being here to get there and had found a good place to eat.. A good bar.. And a cheap shop for a bucket or two... We hadn't paid the days rent yet, as there was a rather large rotting dead mouse under our bed, which we asked to be removed.. Then we're told it was removed.. To find that it was not removed. We felt it would be best to argue about costs tomorrow morning.. Anyway, back to the day.. We walked through the hot sea one last time, finding a coconut on our way to snack on.. We reached our dinner destination, coral resort.. A cheap and simple curry to share did us just fine and we moved on for some drinks.. Stopping in our favourite uv bar for a Chang :) then to the shop where we bought our bucket, it consisted of red bull syrup (800kcal per bottle) one can of coke, a bucket full of ice and one 33cl bottle of sang som. we couldn't possibly be expected to drink all that whiskey with one can of coke? We bought a litre bottle of coke to go with it and that definitely was better.. After just sitting on the beach having some laughs we decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about and headed towards sunrise beach.
It was midnight and the party was heaving... The whole beach booming out different sorts of music, selling different drinks, and thousands upon thousands of people dancing out by the sea. It was so packed that we queued to get on the beach, this beach is a big beach too... Probably a few km long.. After some more drinks and some beach dancing along with a little dip in the sea it was time to call it a day. We were both very glad that we did go in the end.. We had a lot of fun. We got crammed into the front of a 4x4 and off we sped, back to the bungalow for our next adventure.. Koh Tao.
